Crazy Gadgets and fun announcements, Free Coffee Too!

Today is a fun day. February is always a weird month its over far too quick, you think some of the months with 31 days could spare a day here and there, make a little sense in the world, but no. Leap years aside tomorrow starts March already!

Plenty of bits of random interesting detris littered their way across my feed reader, lego dinosaurs. Mario, Batman, and The search for ET all show up in this episode so pay attention. Not to mention a wonderful coffee section, listen in for how to get free coffee!

It seems that no one can get a break around CaffiNation HQ, I’d like to thank everyone who sent well wishes over the various pieces of social media. Last Friday I came down with the same bug that was working its way through our house, and no it wasn’t swine flu.  So you’ll excuse me if this show is a bit more brief. Between worn out windpipes and a tattered immune system I’m not sure what I’ll be called on to fend off when the Little man comes back home from daycare or I enter work once more.

The news has been fertile these past few days. Some of the news is sensationalistic, other bits are salacious. Well stick to the facts and give you al the details about the serious problems, and the lighter side of the net as well.

Enjoy the show and Stay Caffeinated!
